The scenery surrounding the island is everchanging as the tides of the bay can recede quickly, revealing a completely different view. During the low tide, the island can be reached on foot, and hundreds of tourists visit each day. Museums, parish church, and the abbey are open...

Our overnight stay at Mont Saint Michel was nothing short of magical. After a scenic 4.5-hour bus ride from Paris, we arrived at this picturesque island.
The beauty of Mont Saint Michel is truly captivating, with its towering abbey, narrow cobblestone streets, and breathtaking views of the bay.
During our visit, we explored the historic abbey, which involved climbing a steep staircase. Though the ascent was challenging, the panoramic view from the top made it all worthwhile.
From the abbey's heights, we marveled at the stunning landscape stretching out before us, with the vast expanse of the bay and surrounding countryside laid out in all its splendor. It was a memorable experience that left us in awe of Mont Saint Michel's...
